If it had happened for as long as you can remember then imagine your hearing is pretty poor. If it just showed up at some point in time, I think you’d notice it.
It’s happened to me several times, and doctors flushed it out a couple of times though I’ve since learned to do it myself with a rubber bulb type syringe (and warm, not cold water). This is not a recommendation as I’m not a doctor and have no idea likely someone would be to do some damage, but if there is a risk, I either have the right touch or am just lucky.
When it happens, the ear with the problem hears pretty poorly and I feel something like I’m under water. Usually it comes and goes a few time, the experience being like your ears popping on a plane or when driving over a mountain. Then at some point it doesn’t go away and I have to deal with it.
How many percent of the population have earwax obstructions? How do I know whether I have one?
